Unknown White Male Exclusive Clip

We've got an exclusive clip from Unknown White Male, a new movie from director Rupert Murray that's been getting some buzz on the festival circuit.

Here's the setup: Sometime between 8pm on July 1st and 7am on July 3rd, 2003, Doug Bruce lost himself. That morning, riding alone on a New York subway headed towards Coney Island, he could not remember his name, where he worked, who his friends were, how much money he had in his bank account. He was without his identity.

The film is the true story of how Bruce, a successful former stockbroker, struggles to learn who he was and who he will become. The documentary, produced, directed and edited by Bruce's longtime friend, Rupert Murray, chronicles this profound journey.

We watch Bruce, now 35, play catch up with popular culture and current events, experience the serenity of a snowfall and the bombast of fireworks. And we watch him reconstruct relationships with family members he does not recognize and fall in love with a woman who knows only the post-accident version of her lover. Paraphrasing John Locke, one of the film's interviewees observes that Bruce is certainly the same man but questionably the same person.

He reconstructs a life for himself by retaining what he admires about his former self while casting off what&#Array;and whom&#Array;he dislikes. It is at once a nightmare and a dream come true: a chance at rebirth.

Unknown White Male is now playing in New York and Los Angeles. It expands wider on March 10th and 17th.
